Jessi's 5th Birthday

Jessi is 5!!! She had so much fun on her birthday. We started out with french toast for breakfast, then she got to open two of her presents. Then we hopped in the shower to get ready for our busy day. When we got out, we had a little suprise. Her friend Tyson showed up with a HEART shaped donut from Krispie Kreme. After playing a while with the kids. We started getting ready for her party. We had 12 kids (what was I thinking?) show up for the party. It was a HELLO KITTY party, complete with the cake. It was a stretch for MOM to decorate her cake, but we managed and it turned out okay. Then we finished up the day at FAMOUS DAVES. It was Jessi's pick for dinner. She kept asking if we had told the waitress that it was her birthday. Finally she got sang the loudest Happy Birthday song ever and the gave her a HUGE Ice Cream Sundae. She could not help but have a perma grin after that. She was pretty much spoiled rotten, but she deserves it. She is such a sweetheart and helps mom all day long. I always catch her unloading the dishwasher or changing out loads of laundry. She has such a happy helpful spirit. I don't know what I am going to do when she goes to school in August. I hope her little sister is watching and taking notes so she can help out too. :)

Halloween

Our two little Barbie Cheerleaders. They had matching Barbie outfits. The girls were so excited to go trick or treating this year. It was fun to watch. Oh and on Saturday I played in a sand volleyball tournament so Wyatt brought the girls in their costumes to cheer me on before the trunk or treat. It made my day!

Happy 4th

Well we went to Taylor for the 4th and of course I did not take a single picture. So when I got home I took some pictures of my cute girls. Wyatt was 1st in the bareback riding, so he won a cool buckle and a check. I like vacations that pay for themselves. It was a good visit, but I am really glad to be back home.

My Laini bug

I didn't even pose these girls. Funny huh.

OH CRAP!

Laini brought me a suprise today. I always read stories like this and think what was the mom doing while this happened. Well I left for less then 2 minutes for a potty break and Laini marched in with this. So gross, I definitely need a raise for dealing with poop in a basket today! I was proud of myself for not having to change poopy diapers anymore, she has been so good to go on the potty. Today I guess the basket looked like a lot of fun to take a dump in. So parents, hide your baskets so this does not happen to you. You can't say I didn't warn ya!

Idaho

We had a great time on our trip. Thanks to all our friends that made it wonderful. NOW it is your turn to come see us. Here are some pictures.

New Dawn, New Day, New Life and I'm feeling good.

I figured that I should probably update the blog. I don't have any great pictures to show. Christmas was crazy with all that was going on. I miscarried at 12 weeks on Christmas Eve so I was not able to take any great pictures of the kids. They were spoiled like crazy as always. Jessi has been driving her little sister around in the Pink Barbie Car they got. When we got home Wyatt thought that they needed to have garage for it, so he built a pink castle that they park in. We still haven't finished that so I will post some pictures when we get that done. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful little family. I love to watch them grow everyday. I have learned how to enjoy every moment of being a mom with them. Sometimes we don't know why we have trials but they are suppost to make us stronger right?. Well I have found how to be happy with all that I have and not wait for what is to come. Jessi is getting so big and ready to start pre-school this year. I cried when she graduated from nursery, I am not sure how I am going to handle sending her to pre-school. She is my best little buddy and sometime drives me crazy, but she is the BEST helper I could ask for. Laini is putting words together and finally responding to questions that you ask her. Last night she told me "Night night, Mama." Wow, I love hearing the sweet words of a child. So my girls are keeping me busy, but I am going to try and keep up better. I started my craft blog, homeadesunshine.blogspot.com. I am going to try and do something homeade every month. So if anyone has any great ideas I would love to hear about them. Hope everyone is having a beautiful year. Spring is coming and I can't wait.

Oh and if you read my blog and are not on my friends list please let me know so that I can update that too. Thanks!
